On Friday April 24, 2009, a multi-count class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, on behalf of over 2,000 employees who were laid off by subsidiaries of the Defendants, Infineon Technologies AG, Infineon Technologies North America Corp., and Qimonda, AG.
The lawsuit alleges that Defendants are alter egos or joint employers of the Plaintiffs and thereby liable for damages arising out of the layoffs.
The complaint raises claims on behalf of virtually all former Qimonda Richmond and Qimonda North America employees for various causes of action including, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("WARN Act"), unpaid severance, wages, bonuses, and deferred compensation.
